Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics, a translation of
Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, is a publication of
the Siberian division of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The journal presents
top-level work in applied physics now going on in Russian research institutions.
Each issue contains valuable contributions on hypersonic flow, boundary layer
theory, plasma physics, shock waves, detonation fronts, theory of combustion,
heat and mass transfer, thermophysical properties, plasticity, and creep.
Engineering libraries with an interest in mechanical engineering will find this
journal to be very valuable for their collection.
